Interesting. Thoughts?

Houston Baptist, picked to finish last in the SLC, defeated Rice 8-7 in 10 innings in both teams' first game.

Funny story. Was looking at some other baseball programs to see how they were doing this year. I was on the UT site and saw they are in Houston in a couple of weeks. I clicked on the UH link to see about tickets and it sent me straight to the Houston Community College website...lol

Wow, what a facility!

That part of Virginia is gorgeous.

McNeese won the SLC tournament. GCU won the WAC tournament.

Interesting. Ole Miss will be trying to win that school's second NCAA national championship in any sport when they play Oklahoma tomorrow in the men's College World Series.

Hey, guys. SFA already has two.

Three if you count the 1986 D2 softball national,championship.

You'll never know what's going to happen next in your life.

Wow

NAIA news here but

Texas A&M-Texarkana like SFA plays their baseball at a city park facility (George Dobson Field) will be making the move to a new on campus sports complex.

In their season opening doubleheader against Cal State Bakersfield, Sacramento State's Matt Masciangelo was hit by pitches 7 times in 8 at bats.

Talk about having a bad day at the office!!!

Real facilities = Real results

Wow. Just wow!

OK, let's not go that route to get new facilities. (Thanks, 76. I had forgotten about that situation.)

Definitely. We could use some demolition, but in a planned way.

Lamar (30-8; 9-3) enters the Top 25 at #24

Yes, our Jacks had a bad season, but they were far from being THIS bad...

Maryland Eastern Shore finished the season 0-48. They were the first D-I team to finish winless since Coppin State in 2009. Their team ERA was 11.32 and opponents' batting average was .342.

How much did LaTech's new baseball/softball field run?

Monroe news star reported 22 million for Baseball,Softball and Soccer complex. It is encouraging that the new AD mentioned getting all facilities caught up with Basketball. Football, Baseball,Softball and Ladies Volleyball are in dire need.

If we're going to continue to play baseball we should definitely invest in it.

I'm not sure they will do 22 mil, but I would love to see what the plans are for newer facilities when the AD has them ready.

I'm going to take McBroom at his word ,,, shouldn't that be what it's all about? Taking some one at there word.

I hope we get access to some of that UT money along with some SFA donors,,,

We need a lot. Everyone on here knows it. If we can "just" get football and T&F First and foremost.

If somehow we could get some help within baseball…….. that would be cause for a party.

Let me preface this with I LOVE baseball/softball.

However, if the university can't/wont invest into the program, it needs to be scrapped until they have a plan in place to do it the right way. It is embarrassing. I'll admit it has come a long way, but it is still light years away from being a D1 facility.

The location isn't even a huge deal breaker for me. I can deal with off campus facilities, but something has to change. With the portal now in full affect, we aren't going to benefit on the recruiting trail and are more likely to lose guys to JUCO instead of gaining guys.

Scott Wilson is a fan of the University of Texas baseball program. And I mean he is a SUPER FAN!

On Friday night (May 16) Wilson attended the 1,500th straight UT baseball game, both home and away games. The last game he missed was in April of 2000. During those 24 years, UT has played in 17 states, and Wilson has been there for every one of them.

UT Coach David Pierce said "for somone to attend 1,500 straight games he'd have to really love this place or else have no life".

Volleyball is not in "dire need." McBroom specially mentioned that he likes what has been done there. There are definite needs like scoreboard, PA system, and players area, but it's a really good VB facility. Dire needs include baseball, softball, bowling, and fieldhouse. A facilities master plan that McBroom spoke to is critical.

The La Tech baseball, softball, and soccer facilities were destroyed in an EF3 tornado in 2019.
